The purpose of the current research was to examine whether the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) succeeds in predicting nursing and medical staff reporting of suspected child abuse.
Despite the rising incidence of child abuse in Israel, medical and nursing staff reports of suspected child abuse remain low.
This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study was based on TPB. The Child Abuse Report Intention Scale questionnaire was administered to 143 nurses and 42 doctors who work with children in various departments of a central Israeli hospital and in a large affiliated community-based clinic. Descriptive, correlational and linear regression statistics were calculated.
Objection to child abuse, views of professional responsibility on this issue, degree of self-control and subjective beliefs, affect reporting of suspected child abuse. Differences in reporting are evident between doctors and nurses and also between medical and nursing staff from the Arab and Jewish sectors. Doctors report more than nurses and Jewish staff members report more than their Arab colleagues. Medical and nursing staff's number of own children has a direct effect on their inclination to report child abuse.
The TPB model succeeds in partly predicting medical and nursing staff reporting of suspected child abuse. This model can serve as a basis for intervention plans aimed at developing medical and nursing simulations of coping with conflict issues involving child abuse in an attempt to eradicate and treat inadequate reporting.
本研究旨在检验计划行为理论（TPB）是否能够预测护理和医务人员报告疑似虐待儿童的情况。
尽管以色列虐待儿童的发生率不断上升，但医疗和护理人员对疑似虐待儿童的报告仍然很低。
本研究采用描述性、相关性、横断面研究方法，基于 TPB。对在一家以色列中部医院的各个科室和一个大型社区附属诊所工作的 143 名护士和 42 名医生进行了儿童虐待报告意向量表问卷的调查。计算了描述性、相关性和线性回归统计数据。
反对虐待儿童、对这一问题的专业责任看法、自我控制程度和主观信念，都会影响对疑似虐待儿童的报告。医生和护士之间以及来自阿拉伯和犹太部门的医护人员之间的报告差异明显。医生的报告多于护士，犹太工作人员的报告多于阿拉伯同事。医护人员自己孩子的数量对他们报告虐待儿童的倾向有直接影响。
TPB 模型在一定程度上成功地预测了医疗和护理人员报告疑似虐待儿童的情况。该模型可以作为干预计划的基础，旨在培养医疗和护理人员在处理涉及虐待儿童的冲突问题时的应对模拟，以消除和治疗报告不足的问题。
